I didn't see any pics. We keep Echis coloratus so if that is what you have, I'd be happy to share with you our husbandry program with them.

The most common species on the US market is Echis carinatus sochureki. I am quite sure that is what you probably have. They are very hardy snakes that do extremely well in captivity.

No so fast....
Echis carinatus multisquamatus (Transcaspian SSV) looks almost the same as the Echis carinatus sochureki (Eastern SSV)as I know they were available on the market in the past year it's possible that it could also be this species.
